Knowing When Your Family is Complete

Something that I have struggled with the past several years is the question of “Is my family complete?”

Is it? Honestly I don't know but lately I have been leaning towards yes.

But it pains me a little to say that.

It pains me because I love babies. I love my babies. I love the feel of being pregnant. I love knowing that I am nurturing this life inside of me.

I love breast feeding. I love raising children. I love them when they are babies. When they are toddlers. And most of the time after that.

I get choked up when I look at the beautiful faces of my children. Every time I look at the picture above, it makes me smile.

My kids have asked several times about having another brother or sister. My son especially wants a baby brother although I have explained several times that it is not like the store where you just get to pick.

Our last child was born with a heart defect which means that there is definitely a possibility that any future children could be born with this same defect.

We live in a three bedroom house. Everyone shares a room except the dog.

Financially we are stable and we could probably afford it. But my youngest started school and I am really doing well in my social media consulting business.

Am I done? Are we done?

Many signs are telling me yes but my heart is saying no. I am not getting any younger and tomorrow I am celebrating a pretty big milestone birthday.

Although I am not saying yes…I haven't fully decided on no either. This is something I struggle and something that I have been thinking about more and more lately.

Am I done? Are we done? Is this our family?

How do you know for sure?
